What is a ‘Live Edge’ card? Check it out and the video tutorial too


You may have heard of 'Live Edge' tables; but have you ever heard of a 'live edge' card?  Well that's what I'm calling this technique! 

I stamped the sweet dragonfly repeatedly along the right edge of my White card base.  I twisted the image each time and made sure they were touching or very close to each other. After stamping I fussy cut the edge off from the dragonflies. I think it took less than a minute to trim. I think it's well worth the effort!  

The Happiest Day stamp set is adorable; I love the whimsical dragonflies and the bold greetings. Having two separate images for the wings means you can change up the colors for 2-toned results.  See the set here.

Here's how I stamped the inside: 

Products used:

  • Happiest Day stamp set
  • Inks – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Memento Black
  • Other – Something Fancy dies, Paper Snips, Iridescent striped ribbon, Full of Life DSP

I love the way the colors fade from top to bottom mimicking the Full of Life Designer Series Paper.  I achieved this with just 3 colors of ink, but stamping off for a few of them. 

Do you ever stamp off to get a lighter hue of ink? Sometimes it's the perfect shade!

Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with an easy addition of glimmer strips and a few other ideas as well.

  • Check out these Just Kiddin’ Suite cards by our Artist of the Month!


    Today I'm sharing multiple cards made by Marla – our February Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team.  She chose to feature the Just Kiddin' suite seen here.

    This card was cased from Lisa Curcio and is called a 3 tiered easel card.  It's a neat fun fold card.   

    The front two panels are folded down in the photo above so you can see the back panel of the 3 tiers. Very clever!  

    She used one of the scenes in the DSP for her background and added the girl, ball, pennants, stool and greeting!

    This is a mini slimline card. I believe she stamped the pillows but the rest are cut from the DSP or die-cut with the dies in the bundle. 

    Here she added the kids, a greeting and the 'block' castle to the Just Kiddin' DSP scene. 

    ON the card above she scored the back of her card base in half (2 3/4") and added the scene and the greeting strip in front with extra scored ends that create a curved element. That pretty purple glimmer paper is from our Online Exclusives.  So cool! 

    This scene is made with the dies in the Just Kiddin' bundle seen here and of course the little girl (fussy cut) from the DSP. 

    Adding the kids with Dimensionals completes the scene. I love how she let the Just Kiddin' DSP do the work of the background!


    This gatefold card opens up to reveal a full scene! Don't yo love the little baby peeking out!?

    The greeting is on one layer and the kits are on another layer; both have a double score line that makes them pop up slightly. 

     

    Didn't she do an incredible job showcasing the Just Kiddin' suite?!  Great job Marla!!

  • Another version of my 1 sheet box & cards; featuring the Softly Sophisticated DSP


    Today I'm sharing the second version of my 1 sheet box & cards. I shared the other one on Monday;  See it here. 

    These projects feature the Softly Sophisticated designer paper from our recent Sale-a-Bration promotion.  Sadly SAB is over so it's not available anymore.  You can easily substitute your favorite designer paper instead. 

    Please watch the video tutorial below to see how to make this box. I used the crinkled Pool Party ribbon from SAB to close it and the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp & punch bundle on these projects. 

    I decided to attach the ribbon on this box instead of leaving it loose.  I used Tear & Tape and adhered it to the back, upper flap and half of the front.  I tied the tag to the ribbon with twine so it's easy to tie together again. 

    Here's the template you can save.  It's also included in the free project sheet below too. 

    Click here to download or print the free project sheet: Download 1 sheet box for 6 cards & envelopes

    Here are both of my 1 sheet boxes; which is your favorite?


    Next I'll share the individual cards with the measurements. Each one is a special but easy fun fold layout. I used just one stamp set on these cards – the Heartfelt Hexagon set. The coordinating Hexagon punch is unavailable right now; it's out of stock but will be back in April. 

    Note the decorated envelopes to match!  Doing this makes your projects extra special and uses up your designer paper stash too.

    This card is a new take on a book-binding card fold. It has just one extra layer of card stock to make it a new fold. 

    Measurements: Calypso Coral card 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". 2nd piece is 3 1/4" X 4", White inside 2" X 4". DSP – large panel is 3" X 4", 1" X 4" & 2" X 4"

    I love this card fold!  It used the trimmed off layer from the card base as the front panel. 

    Measurements: Pebbled Path – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4". DSP 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"

    This card shows off both sides of your designer paper since the DSP is actually the front of your card base.

    Measurements: Pool Party is 5 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". DSP – 1 piece at 3/4" X 5 1/2", 1 piece at 4" X 5 1/2". Wild Wheat strip 4" X 1"

    Click here or on the photo below to watch the video tutorial.  It will help you understand how to make the box.  Don't forget to follow me on YouTube while you're there!
